    In the event of an accident or collision, one of the first questions posed by the US Coast Guard is "were you utilizing all of your navigational aids". Radar is included in that. I don't travel more then 100' without mine running.

    Ken,
    I'm right with you on this one. It's on my pre-departure checklist to see that both radars are on and functioning. It's only prudent . . .

    OOPS! I should have added: we don't move around the ICW much, if we're moving, we're going out to sea, at least for the day . . .
    And yes, if they are on board they should be servicable and operating. I think that was made evident in our first Captain's course, no?
